EFICFG

The QLogic EFI Driver Configuration protocol displays and modifies configuration parameters stored in the adapter NVRAM. The QLogic EFI Driver Diagnostic protocol provides a minimal set of adapter diagnostics. Both protocols are provided as part of the QLogic EFI SCSI pass-thru (SPT) protocol driver. Either protocol may be invoked from the EFI shell. Each protocol uses a menu-driven interface to allow the user to display and modify adapter configuration and diagnostic parameters. Both protocols support EFI and UEFI systems.

During the configuration process, all changes are made to a local copy of the NVRAM. The changes may be committed to the adapter NVRAM by using the Write selection on the Main Menu. Prior to using this selection, changes to the local copy may be abandoned by using the Abandon or Quit selections on the Main Menu.

To start the Configuration protocol from the EFI shell procedure:

1.Type the following command: drivers

2.A list of installed EFI drivers is displayed in table form. Under the heading Driver Name, find the driver with name OEM Fibre Channel Driver (where OEM is QLogic or an OEM name). Notice the driver’s handle number in the DRV column (this number is known as driverhandle).

There may be one or more driver instances listed. If only one driver instance is listed, then it is managing one or more adapters. If more than one driver instance is listed, then each instance is managing a subset of the available adapters.

3.Type the following command:

drvcfg driverhandle

A list of adapters that are managed by this driver is displayed. Notice the controller handle number inside the brackets labeled Ctrl [ ] (this number is known as controllerhandle).

4.Type the following command to start the Configuration protocol: drvcfg –s driverhandle controllerhandle
